Residential Segregation,Housing Submarkets,and Spatial Analysis: St. Louis and Cincinnati as a Case Study

This article considers how spatial analysis of housing submarkets can advance research into residential segregation. While an emphasis on housing submarkets has been proposed as a new construct for modeling housing prices, its use in analyzing residential segregation has been limited. Recent advances in spatial analysis and geographic information systems present new opportunities for researchers to exploit the potential of housing submarkets as constructs that offer a more precise way to examine residential segregation. The article synthesizes literature related to residential segregation and housing submarkets and demonstrates how to delineate housing submarkets using publicly available data. It examines the spatial distribution of housing submarkets and how the socially disadvantaged are represented across housing submarkets in St. Louis, Missouri, and Cincinnati, Ohio, to conclude that St. Louis's housing market is more polarized and racially segregated than Cincinnati's. Spatial analysis of housing submarkets, in conjunction with archival analysis, provides a promising avenue for identifying residential segregation as a multidimensional phenomenon, and a means to explore local processes of urban inequality.     

Remunicipalization in German cities: contesting neo-liberalism and reimagining urban governance?

After two decades of widespread privatization, German municipalities have started to re-purchase privatized companies. At the same time, social movements are campaigning for remunicipalization, promoting it as a means of achieving greater urban democracy, though these objectives are often divergent from those of municipalities concerned with reasserting local state autonomy. With reference to Berlin, the paper discusses how remunicipalization campaigns might contribute to post-neo-liberal urban governance. It presents a preliminary frame for developing progressive remunicipalization movements centred on three elements of contestation: rejection of neo-liberalism; connection to other and broader struggles; and commoning as an alternative form of urban governance.     

寻找商业目标与公司合规之间的最大公约数

作为现代城市治理的题中应有之义,商业合规变得日益重要。除了外在讨论商业合规的传统视角,从公司内部视角讨论"在什么条件下"商业合规更容易、更可能实现的内在驱动机制,是一个十分关键的问题。两个研究小组围绕商业合规进行了全面分析,同时结合国内外商业合规研究的最新动向,探讨了如何建立商业合规的"高效认知界面",提出了一种公司更愿意合规的认知行为界面偏好的方法,改变以往强调商业合规的"硬干预"、"强干预"的窠臼,走向更为符合商业合规选择偏好的"软干预"、"弱干预"的范式。在此基础上,寻找到让赢利与合规目标之间达成最大公约数的具体实现方案。     

中小城镇发展问题的反思与转变

分析我国城市发展“小城镇,大问题”、“小城镇,大发展”、“小城镇,大战略”转变历程,反思中小城镇发展问题的战略路径,在新型城镇化背景下,重新回归到研究增强中小城镇发展问题上。依据城镇规模等级体系理论,研究得出了中小城镇建设在城镇体系结构和城镇化建设中的战略地位作用,提出了加快中小城镇建设发展的思路,地方政府要优化公共服务,统筹城发乡展,更好引导发挥企业和居民“以足投票”的作用,为完善城市体系结构和城市可持续发展提供新动力。     

新生代农民工与城乡统筹的内在逻辑及耦合路径

新农村建设和新型城镇化既是中国农村发展的两大主题,也是驱动中国城乡统筹发展及现代化建设的两个巨轮。愿意返乡创业的新生代农民工是新农村建设的内生动力,实现返乡新生代农民工在县域城镇的市民化梦想则是新型城镇化的重要标尺。政府创造条件响应其诉求,是城乡统筹的实践突破和人文回归。     

废弃电子产品回收处理体系构建及实现路径

废弃电子产品富含许多珍贵的矿产资源和有机物,若处置不当,不仅不能有效回收利用这些资源,还会引发严重的环境问题。当前中国经济发展明显受资源、环境的瓶颈制约,若能充分回收利用废弃电子产品,无疑是缓解资源、环境问题的有效途径。该文对中国加快回收利用废弃电子产品的动因及废弃电子产品回收处理现状进行了分析,梳理了国外废弃电子产品回收处理体系建设的经验。在此基础上,该文尝试构建适于中国的废弃电子产品回收处理体系,并指出实现该体系的具体路径。     

Youth Gang Members in Rio de Janeiro: The Face of a ‘Lost Generation’ in an Age of Fear and Mistrust

This article analyses the relationship between stigmatisation, violence and marginality, and its limits to social justice and citizenship. It involves a critical reflection on the way groups living in ‘a social and symbolical shade’ are represented and treated by governments and their institutions, and the way such practices reinforce a cycle of socio‐symbolical marginality and the limits to life in the city. The article will explore the findings of a research within drug gangs in which I have been involved ( Observatório de Favelas, 2006 ; Silva et al., 2009 and, Silva and Urani, 2002 ), and my own research on violence, urban marginality and stigmatisation ( Fernandes, 2009, 2012 ).     

提高南宁城市竞争力的思考

科学发展观的提出已受到全党和全社会的广泛认同,也为现代化城市建设起到了重要指导作用.我国现代化建设的实践表明,城市在社会主义市场经济的建立和现代化事业的建设中占有举足轻重的地位,但城市并不是单纯的投入对象、建设对象和管理对象,而且还是可供开发利用的客体.而城市竞争力则体现为一个城市的综合能力.文章对南宁市城市经营管理的现状以及优劣势进行分析,相应地提出了提高南宁市城市竞争力的努力方向和前景展望.     

Can We Blame it on Rio?

The Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games were the last major sporting event in a decade‐long cycle in the Brazilian metropolis. In the years leading up to the Rio 2016 Summer Olympic Games, the city's urban planning agenda was captured by the exogenous demands of hosting the quadrennial spectacular. This capture has exacerbated four tendencies that will pertain in Rio de Janeiro for the foreseeable future: consolidation of consumer sovereignty, restructuring of urban circulations, financialisation of urban territories, and securitisation of exception.     

‘Let's Win this Game Together’: Children's Rights Violations,Macro‐Securitisation and the Transformative Potential of the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil

Sport's transformative potential is known to support marginalised children, to deal with traumatic experiences and instil positive values; yet hosting mega sporting events (MSEs) can have negative impacts. Drawing on participatory research with favela‐based children during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, this article argues that MSEs bring a macro‐securitisation of urban life, which causes considerable harm. This paper also suggests that the inclusion of children's voices in advocacy debates can challenge top‐down securitisation and might allow MSEs to foster further positive social transformation. Therefore, juxtaposed with causing harm, macro‐securitisations can open opportunities for children to take action and have their voices heard.
